The pilot was able to stop the airplane and all five occupants escaped without any injuries. The airplane was considered as damaged beyond repair and later transferred to Farnborough for structural test.

The crew was performing a local training sortie at Sana'a Airport. On final approach, the instructor decided to abandon the landing and started a go around procedure.

Just after liftoff, the airplane hit a truck with its undercarriage. The crew completed a holding circuit vertical to the airfield for several hours to burn fuel and eventually returned to RAF Upwood for an emergency landing.

All three crew members were unhurt while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was engaged in a training mission, completing some tests for a new radar system on behalf of the 199th Squadron based at RAF Hemswell.

Following the collision, the pilot of the Sabre ejected and was found alive. Unfortunately, the Lincoln lost a part of a wing, dove into the ground and crashed in an uninhabited area located near the Luxembourg border, killing all six crew members.
